(Translated from German):
Since June 17th 2012, Anna Poddighe has been missing without a trace from Amberg. Her sister filed a missing person’s report with Amberg’s police station on June 24th, 2012. Now with the offering of a reward amounting to 5,000 euros, the investigators of Amberg’s police station are taking a new approach in their year and a half investigative work.
She was last seen alive on June 17th, 2012 by her then significant other. According to his statements, she set off from their shared apartment to attend the Altstadtfest in Amberg. Since then, there have been no more signs of life from her.
Search and investigative actions have not brought any success. Leads on a suicide, an accident or any other reasons for her disappearance are not present. Even a detailed report on the programme “Aktenzeichen XY” did not bring the hoped-for success. As a result, a possible violent crime against Anna has to also be taken into consideration.
Police authorities from Italy were involved in the search and investigative actions since both Anna’s parents and her sister live there.
The Bavarian state office for criminal investigations is offering an award in the amount of 5,000 Euros for leads that lead to the solving of a committed criminal offence or the arrest of a perpetrator.

The 5,000 Euro reward offered in 2025 marks the reopening of Anna's case. In 2018, the police ended its investigation and worked under the assumption that Anna was the victim of a homicide. Anna remained in close contact with her family and her family members find it incredibly concerning that she has not reached out to them since 2012. Her sister, Daniela, mentions that Anna expressed the desire to attend a Blues concert in Switzerland. Daniela believes that Anna's significant other knows more than he is letting on. She noticed that there were irregularities in Anna's bank account after her disappearance. Poddighe: Polizei schließt die Akten
There are a few articles in Italian about Poddighe's disappearance, but since I don't speak the language, I haven't been able to translate them. I'll link them nevertheless for those who may speak the language: Anna Franca, la sarda scomparsa in Germania: nove anni di silenzi - L'Unione Sarda.it
